2005 Nissan Maxima SE review from North America
"The bad thing about it is, this is a beautiful car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have a 2005 Maxima SE with 69500 miles. I have been reading everyone's complaints about their transmissions and mine is doing the same thing too. When it gets warm, my transmission seems to slip, and when downshifting, it thumps and jerks. It only seems to have the problems in the lower gears.
I decided to go online and research this problem, and this is unreal about this transmission. I didn't think I was going to find this out, I thought it was just mine doing this. They need to recall it! Powertrain warranty only covers up to 60000.
Also my A/C started acting up when I only had 35000 miles.
